My mission with photography is to serve my clients. Special moments can go by so quickly, in the blink of an eye (*snap of the fingers)! Although the first moments with a newborn in the home can be rough, exhausting and stressful… they are also the happiest. Bringing a newborn into your life is a unique event that juxtaposes chaos with bliss, why wouldn’t I want to be a part of documenting that?! My goal is to capture such moments for you to look back on fondly for many, many years.

Here is a beautiful family I get to call close friends. I was there for the first and had the honor to capture their second, Baby Jojo. With their second daughter, these moments are going by much faster than they did with their first… so I am thrilled I was able to capture this moment for them!

Six months old is such a fun age! Little ones begin to sit up, interact more, and giggle a lot! I captured this little cutie when she was a newborn and am so excited to catch her now that's she's a bit more grown up (by the look on her face in some of these poses, you'd agree that she's grown up too!).

I'm offering Back to School Mini Sessions on Saturday, August 19th. This is a great opportunity and value for you to get a photo of your little one before the school year begins!! Available times are between 10am to 1pm and location is in Purcellville, VA. Props will be provided. To book a spot, email: darlenesphoto@gmail.com or call 540-751-8440

My good friends are having a baby (again)! I am beyond honored to have been around to not only photograph their first pregnancy, but their second and have captured other special moments. I'm so happy for Katie, DJ and Maddie and excited to meet baby Jojo.

This in home session was a lot of fun! The new parents of Eleanor are both air traffic controllers and had to get at least one photo of this sweet girl and an airplane. The wooden airplane and aviator cap is just the cutest! I think Eleanor has a future in the aviation industry! Congrats to Natasha and Greg on their bundle of joy!
